Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:I don’t know how I became a writer, but I think it was of a certain force in me that I had to write.And that force finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class. Myfather, a stone-cutter, was a man with a great respect for literature. He had a tremendous memory,and he loved poetry. The poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind. Neverthelessit was good poetry--Hamlet’s soliloquy, Macbeth, Mark Antony’s "Funeral Oration", Grey’s "Elegy",and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child; I memorized and learned it all.He sent me to the state university.The desire to write, which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still.I was editor of the college paper, the college magazine, etc., and in my last year or two I was amember of a course in playwriting which had just been established. I wrote several little one actplays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man, never daring to believe I couldseriously become a writer. Then I went to Harvard, wrote some more plays, starting to think that Ihad to be a playwright. After leaving Harvard, I had my plays rejected. And finally in the autumn of1926, I had a moment of literary inspiration that drove me forward to dedicate my life to writing.But I have never exactly been able to determine ail these questions like how, why, or in whatmannen Probably the force in me that had to write at last sought out its channel. I began to write myfirst book in London. I was living all alone at that time. 1 had two rooms---a bed room and a sittingroom in a little square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick andcream-yellow-plaster look.
